莫迪执政以来，印度外交呈现强硬姿态，这在涉及边界和领土问题时表现得尤为突出。比较而言，莫迪时期印度与邻国围绕边界问题产生的摩擦在历届政府中实属罕见，具有强势特征。莫迪政府的强势领土政策可以概括为在政策目标上致力于单方面改变现状、在外交中框定议题、在军事手段上展示和使用武力。这在克什米尔问题、中印边界问题上体现得尤为明显，在印度—尼泊尔领土争端问题上也有所体现。莫迪政府的强势领土政策出台有着复杂的国内国际动因，并对印度与邻国关系、区域合作和大国关系产生了深刻影响。
Since the China-India border issue became prominent，territorial disputes between India and other neighbors have drawn further attention. The Modi government’s strong territorial policy can be summarized as a policy commitment to changing the status quo，a diplomatic framing of issues and a show of force in action. This has been proven in The Kashmir issue，the China-India border issue and the India-Nepal territorial dispute. There are complex domestic and international reasons for its introduction，and it has a profound influence on India’s relations with neighboring countries，regional cooperation and relations with major powers，which deserves China’s attention.
